The course describes the theory of planetary orbital dynamics in the context of exoplanet detection and also the characterization of multi-planet systems.
You will learn about celestial mechanics to have a broad knowledge of the important quantities that govern the evolution of a planetary system.
You will also learn how researchers put these principles into play to derive the properties of observed extra-solar planetary systems, to simulate their dynamical evolution of systems and test their stability.
Finally, you will learn about the ways to go beyond the point-mass approximation and the classical Newtonian approach.
The key content and notions addressed include:
- Celestial Mechanics
- Numerical integrations
- Dynamical parameter determination
- Stability and chaos
- Tidal interactions
